I would like to generate a cookie (on the server side so there won't be any browser) with specific name/values and save it in a text file (e.g with fopen ). Later I'm planning to to use that cookie with cURL . The problem is that I don't understand what's the cookie format and how should I save it . When I look on the cookies saved by cURL I have something like this
# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.
www.example.com FALSE / FALSE 0 ASP.NET_SessionId 3ddldk5iccxrj45fsl2ctrd
www.example.com FALSE / FALSE 32522347 sccouscIX 548913113
I don't understand the spaces and what method I should use to generate a working cookie . As proof of concept I would like to generate a simple cookie with name : exampleId and value 000000000
exampleId 000000000 / www.example.org
Update just to make sure the question is understood: I need to generate a custom cookie not to get one with cURL generated by other websites. I also found the Original Netscape cookie specification on curl website
